Notes from Germany
I am an American expat living in Germany. It's a far away land on the other side of the ocean. It's interesting and often weird here. If you read this and want to comment then email me at blog(the at symbol)chillmost.com. If you find any spelling or grammar mistakes, you can keep them.

My car started acting funny today. I was going down the Autobahn at around 160 KMH (about 100 MPH) to band rehearsal and I pushed in the clutch to slow down when I got to the exit. I then noticed that the steering wheel was heavier to turn and that the power steering wasn't working. Then I noticed that the engine had stalled. No problem. Just turned the ignition and started it back up. Just like when you stall at a red light when you forget to put it back into first gear except I was traveling at 100 mph. It worked fine at first but as soon as I pushed in the clutch again to stop at the red light the engine stalled again. I could start the engine and shift and drive around no problem, but as soon as I pushed in the clutch the engine would stall. This happened every time till I got to my destination. Why? On the way home it didn't happen. Could have something to do with the engine having cooled down. I got home just fine. I'll have Lothar take a look at it if he has time.
